Welcome!!!

http://www.triumphdining.com/products/glut...ipe-ingredients is a good book, but you must read labels every time to ensure products are gluten free. Hopefully, this will help:

Unsafe ingredients: http://www.celiac.com/articles/182/1/Unsaf...ents/Page1.html

Safe ingredients: http://www.celiac.com/articles/181/1/Safe-...ents/Page1.html

A list of companies that has a clear gluten policy. If you don't see "wheat, rye, barley, barley malt, oats" on the labels, its not there, or hidden in "flavors, starches, etc." http://www.glutenfreeindy.com/foodlists/index.htm and http://glutenfreeinsd.com/product_updates.html This makes shopping MUCH easier.

FDA foods are required to list wheat - it cannot be hidden.

Rule #1: Never eat anything without reading the label first.

Rule #2: Consistently check labels, even of your favorite products, as product formulations can change.

Rule #3: If you are unsure of an ingredient, or the company's policy on labeling, call the phone number on the back of the product or email the company.

Our favortie gluten-free cookbook is Nearly NormalCOoking for Gluten-Free Eating by Jules Shepard. We love her Nearly Normal flour mixture. It is a very good all purpose flour. We make a big patch up and keep it in a sealed containor in the fridge.
